    • Documentation Leadership: Own and enhance our documentation strategy, creating clear, comprehensive guides that help users progress from free to paid tiers
    • Self-Serve Journey Optimization: Identify and implement strategies to craft exceptional first impressions with Twingate to encourage affinity and advocacy
    • Feedback Collection: Gather insights from the developer community to inform product improvements and new features

A Day In The Life

    • Developing vertical documentation that addresses the needs of different customer segments
    • Speaking at a developer conference about modern approaches to secure access
    • Building a Twingate brand ambassador program for power users
    • Arranging an IRL meetup for hands on keyboard users of Twingate

    • Experience creating compelling technical content (videos, blog posts, documentation, tutorials)
    • Excellent public speaking and presentation skills
    • Proven ability to build and nurture technical communities
    • Solid understanding of modern security concepts and practices (experience with zero trust security is a plus)
    • Strong empathy for developers and practitioners
    • An "I'll figure it out" mindset and willingness to experiment across different channels

Why Join Us?
